John Hanna, Prayer Coordinator, Urbana 12 (email at john.hanna@intervarsity.org, 828-719-8860), mobilizing prayer for what is thought to be the world’s largest student missions’ Conference, conducted in St. Louis, MO Dec 27 – 31, expecting 18,000. See www.urbana.org.
From www.urbana.org …
Urbana.org is growing. Guiding this growth is a conviction that God is active in the world today, telling the same story he has been telling since he created time. As creatures made in God’s image, we are more than characters in that story, we have been invited to join with God in creating his story. Accepting this invitation is such a complete and overwhelming good that the invitation is given as a command: Go and make disciples of all nations…
From John Hanna, U12 Prayer Coordinator and Lina Sánchez-Herrera, U12 Prayer Co-Coordinator …
Dear Intercessors:
We thank the Lord for your partnership in prayer for Urbana. As a result of your prayers, we have seen the Lord moving among us as we work with Urbana.
· Praise the Lord for the unity that he is bringing to the many different teams and operational procedures, as well as the valuable partnerships between Urbana and other mission organizations.
· Please join us in praying Isaiah 40:30-31 over all those working for Urbana that we would not grow weary in walking/running on our own strength, but would soar on wings as eagles.
· Ask the Lord to bless us with joy-filled, Spirit-powered work, and the wind of the Spirit to carry us, that we could be faithful to his calling to wait, hope, trust and delight in God’s creative work through Urbana for the nations. May his name be known and glorified to the ends of the earth.
· Please join us in praying Luke 10 that the Lord will raise a new generation of disciples to be sent out to “heal the sick, bring freedom to the captives, and proclaim that the kingdom of God is at hand”.
· Pray for those who will send. Pray for the Mission Organizations that are coming to the conference that the Holy Spirit will sustain and strengthen them as they prepare to share with the participants about how God is using their mission to bring the gospel to many corners of the world living out God’s love, compassion, and justice for the peoples.
Gratefully in Christ, John Hanna, U12 Prayer Coordinator and Lina Sánchez-Herrera, U12 Prayer Co-Coordinator.
